Amok Trey



Our "Ming" (or aunt), who cooks Khmer food for us, tried a new dish today. It's called Amok Trey (a curry fish dish). I helped her make all the spices for it yesterday - it has lemon grass, garlic, saffron and something else I didn't know what it was in English. First they take banana leaves and make a bowl out of it. Then they put the spices and chili pepper on the fish and then steam it. She did a great job and it turned out amazing!! I thought it was interesting and you might enjoy seeing a traditional Khmer dish!
